Police report on drug raid released one week after the event. Why the delay?

November 22, 2013

By Staff

BURLINGTON, ON.  A police raid that took place on the November 21, 2013 was reported immediately by the police.  A raid that took place on November 15th 2013, where members of the Integrated Drug, Gun & Gang Unit, along with the 3 District Strategic Support Team, executed 2 Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrants in Burlington, was not publicly reported until today.  Why the delay?

District 3 police have been busy. Drug raids on the 15th  and the 21st of November seized almost $100,000 in cash and a lot of drugs.

Probably because the two are linked together.  As a result of the November 15^th raid, police seized:

9 ounces of cocaine,

$75,000 cash,

8 grams of marihuana, and

3 grams of psilocybin (commonly known as magic mushrooms).

The estimated street value of the drugs seized is $14,500.

Hardeep KALAR (41 years of age) of Burlington was charged with Trafficking a Controlled Substance (cocaine) and Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking (cocaine). 

 Keith CLARK (27 years of age) of Burlington was charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking (cocaine), and two counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance (Marihuana and Psilocybin).

 Carly PATRY (23 years of age) of Burlington was charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking (cocaine), and two counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance (Marihuana and Psilocybin).

Stjepan BROZIC (44 years of age) of Freelton was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance (cocaine).

 Hardeep KALAR was held for bail and later released on November 19th 2013 on a Recognizance of Bail, while the three other parties were released on Promises to Appear on November 16th 2013.

It will be interesting to see how this case and the raids conducted yesterday work their way through the criminal courts.
